You'll also hear the history behind the massive old growth logging operation that took place on their 10,000 acres in the 20's right up to the start of the depression.

Thanks for watching Todd
Awesome interview Daniel! These kind of stories are so cool!
Thank you Josh !! Bless you Brother
Very interesting, we hayed as teenagers in the early 80's for a couple guys in PT. Our families knew who the Robbins family were, never knew old stories about loose hay though. My Grandparents had a long time dairy farm in Sequim I was just a bit too young to have helped my cousins hay for Grandpa.
I’m so curious who it was you Hayed for in PT. I guy I used to work with his family has a farm up in Sequim can’t remember the name though.
Great interview, thanks . I really enjoyed listening
Cool, thank you so much for watching. I have lots and lots of other interviews that you can catch up on with lots of interesting stories to be heard.
@@DanielBoonesloggingvideos yes, I watched a few last year and enjoyed them I will probably start bing watching the rest of them this week. Thanks for capturing such important history. It got me wondering how many of those fellows I met years ago having breakfast at Loggers Landing
Cool, yeah I’m sure you bumped into many of them. Pat Handly and a few other local guys used to meet at loggers landing for coffee at 5 am they were gone by 6 . I was up all night at the whistling oyster and slept in my truck in the community park across the street from loggers , stumbled into coffee hour right at 5 and met all those guys, I kept going back but sober and been having coffee with them on and off since. That was back in 2006.
So many great memories of going into town(Quilcene) when my kids were young. Breakfast or dinner at Loggers Landing, ice cream from the Penensula 😂grocery store.the kids really liked going to Loggers Landing because it was so unique and full of lively conversation. 30 years later they would still talk about it.They would always ask "Why is it called The Whistling Oyster? Driving thru the other day I see it's gone
I remember stack poles in our fields 1960
Excellent interview lots of interesting stories about logging in general and his families progression on the Hama Hama. I really liked it. Thank you.
So Glad you enjoyed it! thank you for tuning in.
Great interview. Thanks to both of you. Thomas
Glad you enjoyed it! Thanks so much for watching
Great interview Daniel!!! Thank You!
My pleasure! Thanks buddy
Great interview! I wonder where they would market that redwood way up there? And I also wonder if the bears up there have discovered the sap layer of that redwood because the bears tear up way too much redwood in our part of the country by pulling the bark up and chewing on the sapwood and it kills the tree .
Hi Bryan Thank you . Yeah it’s difficult to find a buyer for redwood up here. Pretty much a private sawmill kinda deal. From what Dave has said to me they dont have any trouble with bears .
So many gems listening to our talk through your life!
Another good one. Thank you!
Thanks so much for the comment. I appreciate you watching John .
I have always been facsinated by the Hama Hama forestry side....I first found out what know from researching some of the old logging railroads of Puget Sound a d Hood Canal but became even more fasinated after pulling over one day to look at the tow behind log arch by tge driveway and reading the sign out front...and then more from BS'n with locals while enjoying Oysters at the Saloon. Dave comes across as being a truly accomplished, humble a d interesting man. Great interview!
Thank you so much for watching . I’ve known Dave for years and yes you are right he is a humble man , meet him on the street and would never know that he is connected with all of the Hama Hama company stuff.
Love the new intro Daniel! Very cool. Todd Konoske the retired trucker.
I wish I could have worked with him. The hooktenders and some bosses I worked with/for were not patient. They were yelling screaming maniacs.
yeah ive worked with a few of those types of people as well.
😂😂😂
Fuckin hell this phones keyboard is terrible, i meant to say how we hadnt had a baler till the early 80s, loose hay is a bittersweet memory
